{"product_id":"haunted-homes-9781978807730","title":"Haunted Homes","description":"\u003ci\u003eHaunted Homes \u003c\/i\u003eis a short but groundbreaking study of homes in horror film and television. While haunted houses can be fun and thrilling, Hollywood horror tends to focus on haunted homes, places where the suburban American dream of safety and comfort has turned into a nightmare. From classic movies like \u003ci\u003eThe Old Dark House \u003c\/i\u003eto contemporary works like \u003ci\u003eHereditary\u003c\/i\u003e and the Netflix series \u003ci\u003eThe Haunting of Hill House\u003c\/i\u003e, Dahlia Schweitzer explores why haunted homes have become a prime stage for dramatizing anxieties about family, gender, race, and economic collapse. She traces how the haunted home film was intertwined with the expansion of American suburbia, but also explores works like \u003ci\u003eThe Witch \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Babadook\u003c\/i\u003e, which transport the genre to different times and places. This lively and readable study reveals how and why an increasing number of films imagine that home is where the horror is. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWatch a video of the author discussing the topic \u003ci\u003eHaunted Homes\u003c\/i\u003e (https: \/\/youtu.be\/_irTEfvtZfQ).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/18\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978807730\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.70h x 4.30w x 0.60d","brand":"Dahlia Schweitzer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40040371585205,"sku":"9781978807730","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_ba5689df-09b5-4f3b-acb6-5b4d553558fc.jpg?v=1621342212","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/haunted-homes-9781978807730","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
